Splat Mat is a new free art and play group for under 5s running at the Hamara Centre in Beeston, providing a positive, relaxed session each week for families with young children to play together.
Discover artist Bea Lee Knowles’ colourful splat mats: squeeze, stack, pull, grab, touch, scratch, mash and bash different objects.
Knowles’ work has a sensory focus and she designs and makes resources that encourage open ended exploration and ignite creative play.
Enjoy play time with your little one as they explore using their senses and take a moment to relax in our warm, friendly environment.
Splat Mat is part of Inside Out, a three year art and play project for children and families in Beeston that The Tetley are running having moving out of their eponymous home.
The sessions run every Thursday in term time from 10-11am at the Hamara Healthy Living Centre, Tempest Road, LS11 6RD. Sessions are free and there’s no need to book, just drop in.
The centre is full accessible and the activities are centred around a play mat on the floor, with chairs around the mat. Parents and carers can sit on the mat or on a chair to play.
